Moana

0 upcoming performances in New York

Presented here as a family ice show, *Moana* extends a modern Disney myth into the arena format, with the Disney On Ice ensemble translating ocean voyages and Polynesian-inspired storytelling into choreography and physical theater. The broader franchise continues to grow, with a new live-action film in development that brings Dwayne Johnson back as Maui alongside newcomer Catherine Laga’aia as Moana. In New York, this material reads as a case study in how global studio narratives circulate through local venues like Barclays Center. The critical question is what survives the adaptation when culture becomes spectacle.
